Does Your Town Need A Militarized Police Force?

In response to perceived threats, law-enforcement agencies across the country are becoming increasingly militarized. Citing the wars on drugs and terror, the Department of Homeland Security and the Pentagon have helped arm local police forces with military equipment such as flak jackets, machine guns and tanks. Use of this equipment is becoming commonplace during civil disturbances and “raids” on civilian homes.

Critics say the military-style equipment and force have no business in domestic policing situations. Others believe the police have no choice but to use their strongest tactics to safeguard their community against growing threats.

PersonalLiberty.com, America's #1 news site for independent-minded individuals, is conducting an urgent poll to find out if you believe police forces across America are becoming too militarized or if you think the rise in violent crime, terrorist activity and mass shootings justifies the use of military-style force.

The results of the poll will be available to you after you submit your vote, and we'll also share the poll results with major media outlets across the country. Thousands will vote, so take a moment right now to stand up and be counted. Your opinion matters!

1)

Do you believe that police officers are becoming too much like soldiers?

No, police officers are expected to enforce the law. Weaponry and covert tactics are often required to remove dangerous criminals from streets and communities.Yes, police officers are now seen as aggressors, as opposed to protectors, and private citizens now fear them.I don't know.

2)

Do you think the rise in violent crimes, terrorism activity and mass shootings warrants a militarized police force?

No, police should operate as a domestic policing force. It is up to the state or federal government to call in the military if the situation warrants that.Yes, American crime and the threats we face have escalated. Local police are required to police under more threatening conditions requiring a military-style show of force.I don't know.

3)

Would a police force that resembles and operates like the military make you feel safer?

Yes.No.I don't know.

4)

In 2011, then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg declared, “I have my own army in the NYPD—the seventh largest army in the world.” Are you concerned, as our Founding Fathers were, that government leaders could use police forces to control Americans?

Yes, it happens in other countries, and American will be no different if police forces do not maintain their original purpose to protect and serve her citizens.No, that would never happen in the U.S.I don't know.

5)

With which political party do you most closely align philosophically?
